I have changed my name, but the problem is persisting.
Thanks for the help

What is your problem you are having? I visited your profile and it seems okay.

My profile is not the problem, when i visit the forms all of the initial posts (meaning that the reply messages are working correctly) are all expanded. What I mean by expanded is that I can not only see the names of the posts but the contents as well and I cannot colapse any of the posts (excluding the reply messages on all problems)

Try setting the "Layout" combo box to "Normal"

I cannot believe it was something like that. Thanks though, I am very new to the sight.

Chris,
Just checked out the new and improved My Bookmarks! Cool! Even nicer than I had envisaged!
|

|
|
|
I haven't checked out the bookmarks for a while. They certainly are cool.

Chris - this[^] thread needs removing. It's a highly inflammatory thread, and I apologise in advance if it looks like I've been feeding a troll.

Mark the post as Abuse and refrain from feeding the trolls.

I did, but it takes a lot more than just me to do this - and the post was to give the OP the opportunity to self-moderate. I hoped he'd calm down and deal with it professionally, but I guess I was wrong. My concern was the CP could get dragged into this if it moved into legal action, which his posts would certainly justify.

Sorry dad.  I'll try to do better next time.

agreed. The threshold appears to be set too high, I've largely given up the abuse button because there never seem to be enough concurring votes to flush the post.
Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots.

Chris - the whole thread referenced has become abusive (and libelous). Is this guy not breaching the site T&Cs?
|
|

I agree. I dropped Chris a line earlier about it. I am trying very hard not to feed the troll.

Same here. I've tried to give the moron the benefit of the doubt, but some people just don't get it. The ironic thing is that his CV makes him appear to be quite experienced - not at all what you'd expect because his pratlings make him sound 18 years old.

Same here, and now he's trying to accuse me of libel.

I wasn't 100% convinced with it after reading the trash he posted, then see the CV post, at that point I began to wonder.

Just googled, Orenburg State University and I don't see a Master's program in their graduate studies program  , and this guy claims to be from the US?
---modified
Digging through the CV more, I cannot find an Institute of Innovation, alot of hits, but not one particular place. Makes me wonder if ESP Tech, or what ever the company he slams is called, did their homework and found this same stuff out?

Other places in his CV would seem to suggest he's European. I suspect he's either from the former Soviet states or from the sub-continent.

The university he has down on his CV is in Russia.

Too bad you guys store passwords in clear text
Clear text or maybe encrypted, but somehow they can be read
I just tryed your passwordrecovery page, and it sent me my password
It makes me feel weird knowing that anyone there at codeproject with access to db can see my password
Usually people uses the same password for many sites or even to log in to the pc they use
Passwords should be hashed and if someone forgets the password just reset the password to something else
Anyways, it just what i think

Passwords are stored encrpyted in our database. None of the admin interfaces in our system will show anyone your password. The only point at which a password is unencrypted is when it's sent back to you.
We have thought long and hard about one-way encryption or hashing but when surveyed our members asked to be able to recover, not reset, their passwords.
Maybe it's time we asked again...

I think the choice should always be security over convenience.

Well, there's nothing wrong with generating a temporary password. It's not as though it's impossible for a user to change their password after logging in.
